When we can't find our path, we can use cardinal directions to guide us. We use a compass to understand the directions around us. It is a tool that assists us in determining directions.

Because a compass needle always points north, we can readily determine where East, South, and West are. When you're alone and in an area that isn't densely populated, a compass can be quite useful.

What exactly is a map?
A map is a drawing of a part of the Earth’s surface or a drawing of all of the Earth’s surface.
